Blockworks’ Evolution into a Data Powerhouse

Blockworks has one goal: to provide world-class information to crypto professionals.

This vision started in 2017, and we focused entirely on delivering incredible events, podcasts, newsletters and news to our community. 

Five years later, the financial institutions, hedge funds, venture firms and executives who read and listened to Blockworks began asking for more. We realized it was time to push into research and data. 

We launched Blockworks Research in 2022 to serve this need. As the platform developed, we realized that data was our edge, and delivering industry-leading information to crypto professionals meant delivering industry-leading data.

We’ve spent the past 10 months completely revamping our data and analytics product. This means building a robust warehouse that can handle hundreds of terabytes of data, a query engine so our analysts can build charts 10x faster, and a beautiful new frontend.

Today, we’re excited to release Analytics 2.0 to the world. 

The upgrade provides users with more in-platform customization tools and deeper access to the underlying data, which increases the breadth of analysis that can be run. 

Over the coming months, we will also enable customized chart and dashboard creation directly within our platform. 

Shortly after that, we will offer access to our API, allowing users to leverage our data within their own environment to create financial models or run rich statistical analyses. 

Improve the Data, Improve the Industry

We view blockchains as transparent, open systems that allow for on-demand data retrieval. Unfortunately, it is still an extremely complex process to collect and analyze that onchain data. This truth, more often than not, leads to data inaccuracies. Relying on this inaccurate data causes investors and executives to make confident yet misguided decisions on the back of false certainty. 

Our data and analytics platform solves this problem. 

We provide investors and executives with the raw data they need to make better investments and corporate decisions. Our analytics serve as the interpretation layer, abstracting away the complexity of crypto data to make it actionable. We are going deeper, questioning the status quo and creating new metrics to illuminate what is happening in our industry.

Our vision is simple: Improve the data, improve the industry.

We see a world where the inherent transparency of blockchains reduces systematic risk, creating more attractive investment opportunities and making businesses built on these new financial rails easier to value.

A world with verifiable financial tracking that reveals the true economic health of the onchain economy.

A world with real-time risk management that preemptively identifies threats to strengthen investor confidence. 

A world with granular user monitoring that provides actionable data on behavior and trends to inspire strategic growth decisions. 

This is the world we are building for.
